Zimbabwe service provider, Utande, announced
that it selected Alepo and Dimension Data to deploy 4G data services over
WiMAX, Wi-Fi and high-speed Metro Ethernet.
Alepo, a provider of control plane and
business management solutions for next generation services, has partnered with
Dimension Data, to rollout 4G data services across Zimbabwe for internet
service provider Utande.
Alepo will implement its convergent charging
and billing platform, Service Enabler, as well as its 16e AAA Server for
real-time policy and subscriber management. Alepo’s Subscriber Portal will
enable customers to register for services and manage their accounts online,
independently.
Together, Alepo and Dimension Data will build upon Utande’s existing network to create a convergent network
environment, enabling the delivery of 4G services over WiMAX, Wi-Fi and
high-speed Metro Ethernet. The project marks the first collaboration between
the two veteran telecommunications vendors.
“We are very pleased to partner with Alepo to
launch 4G services at Utande. Alepo’s proven core network solutions and industry
experience are true assets to this project.” said Calvin Menyennett, chief
technology officer at Dimension Data.
Alepo will offer a carrier-grade Wi-Fi
Hotspot Management solution, which will allow Utande to easily expand a Wi-Fi
hotspot network through partners and resellers. Alepo’s open and endlessly
scalable solutions will enable Utande to readily support the growing needs of
Zimbabwe’s residential and business consumers.
“The collaborative effort by Alepo and
Dimension Data to deploy 4G services will afford Utande the competitive edge to
be positioned as Zimbabwe’s premier internet service provider,” said Jonathan
Garini, Alepo vice president of Products.
